lyric

at least in my dreams 
when i'm sleeping 
it seems that the needle is full endlessly 
but you keep on waking me 
i'm almost there 
it's on the tip of my tongue 
and it never goes away 
it never comes to stay 
the chances are slight 
that i won't shoot up tonight 
but the sensation that's waiting beneath 
is a kick in the teeth

No Picture Frost Wanna Be	#1 by Frost Bite at Feb 5, 1976 at 11:12 AM EST
	Bright Eyed Girl, you are not alone! I don't listen to some PTL songs (such as "Rapture" and "Backwoods Nation") because the lyrics cross the line in my opinion. Some of Bazan's lyrics have become a stumbling block (see Romans 14:13) for some people (including myself). I simply don't listen to the songs that I believe to be dishonoring to God. Knowing that Bazan is a Christian (as evidence in most of his songs), I am sure that he would not want to be a stumbling block (causing someone to sin) to any Christian, and so I suppose he sees many of his songs as musical allegory or simply art. However, in the Christian spectrum, art still should have boundaries, and it should not place impure thoughts in one's mind. So, considering the lyrics to this song... It's not a stumbling block to me since I do not struggle with such despair leading to drug use. But I have friends who would struggle with this song. A Christian friend of mine refuses to listen to Bright Eyes now since it brings back a flood of darkness he use to live in before coming to Christ. However, I wonder if the "you" is God -- refusing to let him "shoot up" which, in my opinion, implies a refusal of letting the character in the song fall into a dark despair or depression. Christians must make choices about the songs they listen to. It's hard to sacrifice great-sounding music, but we must consider that honoring God is more pleasurable (yes, pleasurable!) than the pleasure of listening to music (see Psalm 16:11). So, it is difficult at times to find out when lyrics are considered ungodly and dishonoring to God. It's something that must be prayerfully considered between God and believer. John and Charles Wesley's mother once said, "Would you judge the lawfulness of a pleasure? Take this rule: Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of conscience, obscures your vision of God, or takes away the relish of spiritual things, or increases the authority of your body over your mind -- that is sin." So, perhaps that is a rule Christians can use to discern what God would have them listen to. Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. " Perhaps that would help in discerning what Christians should listen to. Any thoughts? For His Glory and Renown, PemberleyTea Col. 1:13-14

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#2 by Justin Neafsey at Aug 15, 1984 at 5:13 AM EST
	nope, i feel like that too. david bazan is an incredible songwriter and has created some of the most affecting pieces of music i've ever heard. but my stance as an agnostic has prompted to some people to challenge me as to whether i can 'really' enjoy it. i've found ignoring those people works a charm. bickering over religion is pointless.

No Picture Jared Wanna Be	#3 by Jared van Eck at Nov 19, 1986 at 12:21 PM EST
	juan the owl, i wonder who you are named after. I like your name. what a great song by the master of lyrics david bazan. round of applause everybody. he just completely captures the idea of being a heroin addict, but its still so damn beautiful! how is he not being awarded for these masterpieces, i think he is this centuries greatest genious. somebody give him a medal

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#4 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Oct 20, 1994 at 7:36 AM EST
	Yes, bright eyed girl, you are; that's just weird. You need to let go of that catholic guilt. Pleasure is a good thing. Oh, and this song has NOTHING to do with god.

No Picture CHUNK ZIZZLE Rhythm Player	#5 by CHUNK ZIZZLE at Aug 21, 1998 at 2:57 AM EST
	Concerning Christianity and David Bazaan, it's obvious that i couldn't speak for him, but it seems apparent to me that by the time control and headphones and achilles heel rolled around, i doubt he is still the same church kid he was when he wrote the Whole EP and It's Hard to Find a Friend. Maybe i'm way off, but he seems to have matured further up the chain of spiritual evolution.

No Picture Erik Lead Player	#6 by Erik StJimmy at Jul 19, 1999 at 5:48 PM EST
